Description

Sweet and Easy Honey Roasted Carrots are tender carrots glazed with a luscious blend of natural honey, fresh thyme, olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and apple cider vinegar (natural). This nutritious and flavorful side dish offers balanced sweetness and savory notes with minimal effort, perfect as a healthy snack or an elegant accompaniment to grilled or roasted dishes.

Ingredients

Scale

Carrots and Glaze

  • 1 lb fresh carrots, washed, peeled and cut into sticks or chunks
  • 2 tablespoons natural honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Herbs

  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Carrots: Start by washing and peeling your carrots, then cut them into evenly sized sticks or chunks to ensure they roast uniformly and cook at the same rate.
  2. Make the Honey Glaze: In a bowl, whisk together natural honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar (natural), sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper until smooth and well combined.
  3. Toss Carrots in the Glaze: Place the prepared carrots in a large mixing bowl and pour the honey glaze over them, tossing gently to coat each piece evenly.
  4. Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Spread the glazed carrots in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup and optimal roasting.
  5. Roast to Perfection: Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to encourage even caramelization and color. The carrots should be tender and slightly caramelized when done.
  6. Add Fresh Thyme and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the hot carrots. Toss lightly and serve warm to enjoy maximum flavor.

Notes

  • Cut carrots uniformly to ensure even cooking and beautiful presentation.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to promote proper roasting and caramelization.
  • Adjust the amount of natural honey to your preferred sweetness level.
  • Use fresh herbs like thyme for best aroma and brightness.
  • Serve immediately for optimal flavor, though leftovers reheat well.
